We have recently been investigating the use of the Canon 7D as a 3D solution for our Leap of Faith short film. The 3D tech on the movie, Rami Santrisi, came up with a white paper in an attempt to layout the possibilities of using the 7D optimally if used as a stereo capture device. We are talking about using two Canon 7D’s attached in some way to enable this kind of capture. Here is the white paper:White paper on using the Canon 7D as a stereoscopic 3D Camera

As for which route we end up taking, that will depend on further testing. As of right now, Option #3 is the most optimal without any loss of resolution, but complete loss of access to the video feeds from either camera. The DP for the film will be assessing the impacts of using these options and moving forward with what he thinks would work best for the film. As always, we’ll try to keep you updated. Peace.

We are very excited here at HIPUR for our upcoming short film: Leap of Faith. It is a short about an acrophobic man who needs to overcome his fears. This movie inshaAllah will be in Stereoscopic 3D–or S3D.

Due to our director traveling, we had to push back production a few weeks from our original dates–end of March. We will be shooting the movie

April 23rd through April 27th

God willing, with the 28th and 29th as backups for any re-shoots we may need. If you are in Maryland and would like to come and see what it’s all about, we do have room for 2-3 individuals to come and view the process. We also have 3 PA positions if anyone is interested. PA is Production Assistant, and would help out in various ways with whatever is necessary for things that need to get done and doesn’t require any previous experience.
